Buy from Zara Spain
Ship to the UK
Brexit cut UK shoppers off from zara.com/es. Get a Spanish address to reach euro prices, Spain-only colourways and earlier drops — forwarded to any UK address.
Post-Brexit euro prices and Spain-only styles UK stores never get
Brexit ended frictionless EU shopping, and Zara's UK GBP prices have drifted above the euro tags on zara.com/es. Inditex also tests colourways, capsules and Zara Home pieces in Spain that never reach the UK store. Resendify gives you a real Spanish address so you can buy on zara.com/es and forward the order to any UK address. Shipping time from Europe to the United Kingdom depends on the carrier and service level you choose. Resendify handles UK import declarations and VAT paperwork so you receive your order without delays.
What to actually buy on Zara Spain (and ship to the UK)
zara.com/es is Zara's home market — the .es site carries the brand's fullest, earliest-dropping seasonal range because Inditex is headquartered in Arteixo, Galicia. For Spring/Summer 2026 the hero category is tailored blazers: sharp high-neck and double-breasted cuts, blazer-dresses and linen-blend tailoring in saturated red, cobalt and canary yellow. Around that sits a strong linen edit, satin slip dresses and clean, well-cut denim. Buy where Spain is genuinely better, not just cheaper: broader stock, regional capsules and collabs (including Zara Pre-Owned) that don't all reach the UK, and pieces that are sold out on zara.com/uk but still live on .es. Items here are light, so a few pieces consolidate into one easy parcel to your UK door — buy on the Spanish site, ship to your free Spanish forwarding address, and we re-ship to the UK.
- Tailored blazers — the standout SS26 category: high-neck, double-breasted, blazer-dresses and linen-blend tailoring in saturated red, cobalt and canary yellow (basic tailored blazer from ~€59.95)
- Linen edit — linen shirts (~€30), linen wrap and midi dresses with fringe hems, and summer shorts (~€20)
- Satin midi slip dresses — the slinky cocktail and dinner staple of the season
- White ruffle-hem mini dresses and flowing voluminous black dresses (white mini ~€27.95)
- Clean, well-cut denim — straight-leg and balloon-fit jeans (men's balloon-fit ~€35.95)
- Spain-first stock and regional capsules — collabs and Zara Pre-Owned pieces, plus items sold out on zara.com/uk that are still in stock on .es

Zara Spain doesn't ship to the UK. Here's the fix.
zara.com/es ships within the EU only
Since Brexit the Spanish Zara site delivers only inside EU member states, so a UK address is rejected at checkout unless you forward through Spain.
Euro prices undercut UK GBP prices
Post-Brexit repricing and the EUR/GBP rate mean the same Zara item often sells 10 to 25 percent cheaper on zara.com/es than on zara.com/en-gb.
Spain-exclusive collections and early drops
Inditex launches certain colourways and capsules only in Spain, or weeks before the UK store, so zara.com/es carries pieces UK shoppers cannot find.
Zara Home exclusives from Spain
The Spanish Zara Home catalogue lists homeware and textiles that simply never appear in the UK Zara Home range.
Zara sizing for UK shoppers: it labels in EU and runs small
On zara.com/es everything is labelled in EU sizes and the site defaults to the EU scale, so match the EU column below rather than the UK number on your usual tag. The important warning: Zara runs small and tight, especially on fitted styles and dresses (often short hemlines and tight bodices), so a typical EU 36 / UK 8 shopper usually sizes up to EU 38 / UK 10 for anything fitted. Fit is also inconsistent garment to garment — Zara is cut across many factories and patterns, so a Medium top in one style can fit like a Large in another. Because a .es order can effectively only be returned in Spain (no UK store drop-off), getting the size right first time is the real money-saver: always check the per-item cm measurements on the product page and use Zara's online size-finder before you order to your free Spanish forwarding address.
| UK (women) | EU (Zara label) | US (women) |
|---|---|---|
| UK 4 | EU 32 | US 0 |
| UK 6 | EU 34 | US 2 |
| UK 8 | EU 36 | US 4 |
| UK 10 | EU 38 | US 6 |
| UK 12 | EU 40 | US 8 |
| UK 14 | EU 42 | US 10 |
| UK 16 | EU 44 | US 12 |
Conversion guide only — Zara runs small and fit varies between garments, so size up one for fitted styles and always check the per-item cm measurements and Zara's size-finder on each product page. Source: Zara size guide & EU→UK conversions — Tellar.

Customs & import duty: EU to the United Kingdom
Here is the version most forwarders won't tell you. The UK has a single number that controls everything: GBP 135 per consignment, measured on the goods value alone (shipping and insurance don't count). At or below GBP 135, there is no customs duty, and the overseas seller charges 20% UK VAT at checkout. Above GBP 135, the carrier collects import VAT (and any duty) when it delivers and adds a handling fee. Note the dates: the GBP 135 duty relief is still in force today — its abolition was announced in the Autumn Budget 2025 but is future-dated 'by March 2029 at the latest,' so it does not apply now. There is no VAT-free threshold for commercial goods: above GBP 135 the 20% import VAT is charged on the full value, not just the part over GBP 135. Only genuine person-to-person gifts up to GBP 39 are VAT-free.
Duty itself is often 0% on EU-origin goods: under the UK-EU trade agreement (TCA), a valid statement of origin gets you 0% duty. Without it, standard MFN rates apply — roughly 12% on clothing, 8% on footwear, 2% on leather goods — while perfume, cosmetics, phones and laptops are 0% anyway. One caveat we won't sugarcoat: shipping to an EU forwarding address counts as a domestic EU sale, so EU VAT is charged and a private buyer generally cannot reclaim it. The tourist refund requires you to personally export the goods with a customs stamp — a forwarder cannot do that for you. So before you ship, we estimate your full landed cost — item + shipping + estimated duty — so you can plan with a realistic estimate. Create your free EU forwarding address and run the calculator.

The VAT reality — and where the real saving comes from
Let's be straight about tax, because some forwarders aren't. The euro price you see on zara.com/es already includes Spanish VAT (21%). Shipping to a forwarding address inside the EU does not let a private shopper reclaim that VAT — the tourist tax-free refund needs you to personally export the goods and get a customs stamp, which a forwarder cannot do on your behalf. So we will never promise you a VAT refund; anyone who does is misleading you. The real, honest value of buying Zara Spain is different and still strong: Spain is consistently Zara's cheapest market, the base euro price is structurally lower than the UK sterling tag (reported savings run from ~10–20% per item, and more at favourable exchange rates), and you reach Spain-only stock, regional capsules and earlier drops the UK store never gets. That price gap, not a refund, is the win. Separately, UK import VAT is handled on entry to the UK — see the worked landed-cost example below.
Forwarding does not qualify a private shopper for a Spanish VAT (tax-free) refund — the euro price already includes 21% Spanish VAT and we never promise to reclaim it. Separately, UK import VAT (20%) applies to commercial goods on arrival with no VAT-free threshold (only person-to-person gifts up to £39 are exempt); for orders at or below £135 the seller charges UK VAT at checkout, above £135 the carrier collects it. See the landed-cost example below. Source: How to shop Zara internationally — forward2me.
Shipping weights and how to keep the cost down
Zara fashion is light, which works in your favour. A single dress, blouse or shirt is roughly 0.3–0.5 kg; jeans, a blazer or a thicker knit run about 0.6–0.8 kg each; a typical multi-item order (a dress + blazer + jeans) lands around 1.5–2 kg shipped. Most fashion parcels stay well under 3 kg and far below the 30 kg forwarding cap. The biggest lever on cost is consolidation: place several Zara Spain orders, let them all arrive at your free Spanish address, and we combine them into one box — so you pay a single international leg instead of one charge per parcel, and clear one customs entry instead of several. Note that light, bulky items (a padded coat) can be billed on volumetric rather than actual weight, so we always quote whichever is higher. Run your exact basket through the on-page calculator for a real Spain→UK rate before you send.
- Consolidate to save: combine several Zara Spain orders (or Zara with Mango, Bershka and Massimo Dutti) into one box and pay a single international leg instead of one charge per parcel.
- We hold parcels free for up to 60 days, so you can let a few orders build up before forwarding.
- Light but bulky items can be billed on volumetric weight — we quote the higher of actual vs volumetric, so the basis is clear before you ship.
- Register for a free Spanish address, then use the on-page calculator for a live Spain→UK rate on your exact basket.
| Zara item | Approx. weight |
|---|---|
| Blouse / linen shirt | 0.3–0.5 kg |
| Dress (cotton / linen / satin) | 0.3–0.5 kg |
| Jeans / trousers | 0.6–0.8 kg |
| Tailored or linen-blend blazer | 0.6–0.8 kg |
| Thicker knit | 0.6–0.8 kg |
| Heavy coat / outerwear | 1.0 kg+ (heavier by volume) |
| Typical multi-item order | 1.5–2 kg |
A worked example: landed cost of a Zara Spain order to the UK
Here's an illustrative landed-cost estimate for a typical Zara basket, dated 14 June 2026 so you can sanity-check it against today's UK rules. Say you buy a satin slip dress (~€29.95), a linen shirt (~€30) and a pair of balloon-fit jeans (~€35.95) on zara.com/es — roughly €96 of goods, with Spain's 21% VAT already in those tickets. Converted, that's about £82 of goods, comfortably under the £135 UK consignment threshold. That matters: at or below £135 the overseas seller charges 20% UK VAT at checkout (so it's already inside the price you pay) and there is no customs duty, so the carrier has nothing extra to collect on delivery. The order packs to about 1.2 kg, so on top of the goods you add one international forwarding leg of roughly £12–£20.
If your basket instead comes to more than £135 (say you add a blazer and some shorts), the rules flip: the carrier collects 20% import VAT on arrival plus any duty and a handling fee. On duty, for EU-origin Zara clothing the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement gives 0% with a valid statement of origin; without one, MFN clothing duty is around 12% (footwear ~8%, leather ~2%). We deliberately show duty as that origin-dependent distinction rather than one fixed rate, and we estimate your real landed cost before you ship. There is no VAT-free threshold for commercial goods (only person-to-person gifts up to £39 are exempt), and the Spanish VAT already in your euro ticket is not reclaimable via forwarding.
| Line item | Estimate (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Goods incl. UK VAT — satin dress + linen shirt + balloon jeans, ~€96; at ≤£135 the seller charges 20% UK VAT at checkout so it's already in the price | ~£82 |
| UK customs duty (consignment ≤ £135 → none) | £0 |
| International forwarding (~1.2 kg) | ~£12–£20 |
| Estimated landed cost | ~£94–£102 |
Illustrative example only, dated 14 June 2026 — not a quote, and not legal or tax advice. EUR is converted at an approximate rate; the goods value already includes Spain's 21% VAT (not reclaimable via forwarding) and, at or below £135, the seller charges 20% UK VAT at checkout, so the ~£82 goods figure already includes UK VAT. UK duty de minimis is £135 of goods value per consignment: at or below £135 no duty applies and the seller charges UK VAT at checkout; above £135 the carrier collects 20% import VAT plus any duty and a handling fee. There is no VAT-free threshold for commercial goods (only person-to-person gifts up to £39 are exempt). EU-origin Zara clothing is 0% duty under the UK-EU TCA with a valid statement of origin, otherwise MFN applies (clothing ~12%, footwear ~8%, leather ~2%). The £135 relief is still in force; its announced abolition is future-dated to by March 2029 at the latest.

Returns: treat forwarded Zara orders as effectively final
Inside Spain and the EU, Zara returns are easy — 30 days, free in-store, a small fee for return-by-mail, refunded in around 14 days. But for a UK shopper buying via a Spanish forwarding address the practical reality is harder: an order placed on zara.com/es has to go back to the country of purchase (Spain), and there is no UK store or drop-off route for it. Mailing an item back to Spain from the UK is slow, costs paid international postage and can face customs friction, so a forwarded purchase is effectively final-sale. The fix is to get the size right before you order: check the per-item cm measurements, use Zara's size-finder, and remember Zara runs small on fitted styles. Below are the points that matter most.
- Zara's standard policy: 30 days, free in-store returns, a small fee for return-by-mail, refunds in ~14 days; items must be unworn with tags.
- From the UK there is no local return route for a zara.com/es order — it must go back to Spain by paid international post, slow and with possible customs friction.
- Treat forwarded Zara purchases as effectively final-sale and rely on the size guide before ordering.
- Underwear, cosmetics and final-sale items are non-returnable everywhere.
- Best practice: confirm fit on each product page (cm measurements + size-finder) and size up one on fitted styles, since Zara runs small.
